PROBLEM : Every
technician has experienced the frustrating situation with EGR Valves that
are prone
to carbon clogging. This carbon buildup can cause the EGR pintle to stick
open or closed. The result
can be rough idling, stalling, hesitations, surging, pinging, malfunction
indicator lamps (MIL) to be set
and or failed emissions tests. Even a new EGR Valve may very well foul again
in a very short period of time.

SOLUTION : TOMCO, Inc. has developed KLEAN SCREEN™ TECHNOLOGY that
actually
prevents EGR Valves from fouling. The KLEAN SCREEN™ GASKET takes the place of
the original
equipment type gasket. The integrated carbon filter screen covers the hole where
the exhaust gas enters.
These heat resistant, stainless steel screens catch the carbon particles before
they can cause trouble inside
the EGR Valve. As heat is built up around the screen, these larger particles are
burnt off or dissipated
into smaller, non-clogging particles.

#2-1378
• When passages need to be completely cleaned out to restore the EGR system
to normal operation, this kit is the same as the #2-1377 but includes
